Paralysis Injury Lawyer discussed how these serious accidents can happen

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the three most common reasons for permanent partial or total paralysis include stroke, head injury, and spinal cord injury. Of these conditions, stroke is the only one that occurs internally. This means it happens within a person's body and is not caused by outside trauma of some kind. Unfortunately, people who suffer from a head or spinal cord injury are often the victim of another person's carelessness or even their intentional actions. Car accidents, unsafe work environments, and physical assault are all leading causes of these severe injuries. Paralysis after a Head Injury A person who...

in Accident Injuries, Accidents

Hoverboards were one of the hottest gifts this holiday season. Unfortunately many hoverboards have been spontaneously exploding or bursting into flames while in use. Riders have sustained injuries requiring hospitalization after falling from these defective boards. At least two lawsuits have been filed already against hoverboard manufacturers and retailers.

Slip, Trip & Fall Accident Law on Trivial Defects from NY’s Highest Court

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Premises Accidents, Slip & Fall Accidents

The New York State Court of Appeals, the highest court, decided three cases in Hutchinson v. Sheridan Hill Corp. in October 2015. The decision clarifies conflicting interpretations of past precedents by the Appellate Divisions and lower trial courts. When someone slips or trips and falls they must prove they fell because of some sort of defective condition be it a puddle, hole, raised sidewalk flag, or other hazard. On a motion to dismiss, the defendant must prove as a matter of law that there exist no questions of fact for a jury to decide. To meet this burden, a defendant must...

Worker Safety at NYC Construction sites

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Construction Accidents

Many people believe non-union construction jobs are less safe compared to union jobs. According to OSHA statistics, 78% of all New York construction accidents happen on non-union jobs. It is difficult to prove whether non-union job sites are more dangerous. Most of the work going on in NYC is non-union. Union jobs are usually confined to the larger jobs. Further, many jobs contain a mix of union and non-union workers. The size of a project is a more accurate predictor of worker safety. Larger job sites tend to hire site safety companies, have tool box talks about safety, and conduct more...

Recent accidents highlight dangers of truck traffic

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Accidents, Truck Accidents

Just one day prior to a state-wide safe roads initiative two truck accidents underscored the growing problem. A truck driver was driving too fast which led to a rollover accident resulting in his truck spilling 200 gallons of fuel. This single truck accident caused a mile long traffic back up on the road and will require a vast clean-up effort. It was the driver’s first day working for this trucking company and his cargo load was not evenly distributed or secured. A second accident involved a motor vehicle that pulled out in front of a moving truck which caused the truck...
